Mountain biking in the Poconos

Big Pocono Trail - Camelback Mountain off Camelback Road Tannersville, PA. 18372

One of the highest elevation rides in the Poconos. Absolutely wonderful views of the Delaware Water Gap, and across NJ to the southern tip of New York State. (Look for the obelisk at High Point Park to the North East.) Get information, maps and supplies at "The Loft" on Camelback Road on your way up. Make it a two day trip and spend the second day relaxing your sore muscles at Camelbeach Water Park in the Kahuna Lagoon Wave Pool. The trails are numerous, some isolated, single track and woods roads and an old railroad bed. Take lots of water on this ride! Be aware of the wild life - we've seen bear, foxes, an abundance of dear and on one occasion a real wild Bobcat. Personally recommended by our PoconosBest.com Staff. Who bikes here: All the Local and State Officials.

historic mountain

Glen Park - Stroudsburg, PA 18360 Collins Street off Broad - This is the local's favorite "warm up" trail. A lot of up and down through woods and glens, with some great single track across a thin ridge. View of the Delaware Water Gap, views looking north over the Poconos, and some great woods riding. The single track return across "Cliff Trail" is one of those rides that will stick in your memory, as is the attempt to conquer "Washing Machine Hill". Be sure if you are going here for the day to take a side ride into the town of Delaware Water Gap. Visit "Doughboy's for lunch, maybe even take a few minutes off to hit some golf balls on the Driving range at The DWG Country Club.
